Start off by making all A's! Raise your GPA to, if possible, a 3.85 - 4.0, because your goal should be to become your class' valedictorian (it will help tremendously with scholarships and grants). Become apart of all the extra curricular activities you can possible manage. For example, take on a responsibility like becoming your school's National Honor Society's President (that will look pretty darn good) and compete in UIL (both sports and academics). Become social with your teachers, because when a teacher believes in you, they also believe in your dream (meaning a great recommendation in the bag). GOOD! And I mean GOOD SAT scores! 700 in each subject at the very, very least! Become involved in outside of school activities... like your teakwando, that's amazing. Props to you! Maybe do community service with Habitat for Humanity or wing it by... organizing your own fundraiser for homeless people in your community, stuff like that.


Before ending this novel, I would like to say that every Ivy League University looks for something different. You might receive acceptance into Yale but not Harvard, into Brown but not Columbia. Some schools commend students in their academics, others in their extra curricular activities, others in their community service and others in the sports they were apart of. If you are really dedicated in attending Harvard work your butt off! Because at the end it will all be worth it. But if you dont get admitted into Harvard, you might have a chance to attend another Ivy League school...and although it is the most highly held university, dont lose hope, maybe you'll even have to attend another university and transfer to Harvard. If you really believe, you will get there some how.


Best of luck!!!
Reply:Get Straight A's, take a ton of AP classes, learn how to spell competitions, Great extra-curriculars (leadership looks the best - ex. student government), and perfect SAT/ACT scores (take SAT/ACT prep courses).
Reply:I wanna go there too. u have to be like extra smart. it would be easy if ur parents went there then u can go there directly-my teacher told me. But right now i am to small for college. i am in 7th grade.


Best of luck
Reply:you're gonna need a GPA well over a 4.0, mad writing skills in order to convey your interests and personalities, etc.


i dont' know what grade you're in, but you're probably gonna have to work your way up to at least calc by graduation.


and really good SATS, probably at least 700s.
Reply:The best thing you can do at this point in your life is keep up your grade point average. Make sure you don't get behind in your studies, and also get yourself involved in a lot of school activities (only if time permits). It's only your freshman year in high school, don't stress yourself out at this point in life about what college you would like to attend because Harvard is a good school, but there are plenty more out there with the same options that Harvard as well.
Reply:Harvard gets many more high school valedictorian (#1 student in the class) applications than they have openings. This puts them in a position to decide which students who were #1 in their high school they will accept and which they will reject. They are unlikely to accept 2 students from your school, so you need to be #1 in your class.





The activities are good, but they will not be considered until after you meet the test of GPA or class standing.





You will need college prep, honors and AP classes and you will need to get A's in them. If your grades and class rank are high enough, they will look at your extracurricular activities to see if you are "well rounded".





Go for Harvard. Study like crazy to get in, but have a backup plan because most applicants who were #1 in their high school class are rejected.
